In the context of the present day, it all weighs a little bit more. Plus, it's a pretty good action movie, too.

Austin Chronicle

This is nothing like the absorbing Nordic noir of modern Scandinavian television and cinema. It more resembles good old-fashioned American mediocrity.

Film Threat

The film is largely a missed opportunity that fails to live up to any feats of reinvention or wonder in its genre.

Rated: 4/10

Brian Costello

Common Sense Media

Despite the slow pace of the beginning, and a reliance on action movie cliches in both characters and action, the movie does go in some unexpected directions.

Rated: 3/5

What She Said

It’s ambitious and dense, a tad too long, but offers an insider’s look at the body politic of northern Europe.

Terrible movie! Slow, bland acting, all the characters sound the same. Why does the President have only one, 100 lb, bodyguard? Way too ridiculous and unbelievable, even for a movie

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Started strong as a hostage drama and sank into an improbable, one-man rescue mission.
